New Orleans, Aug. 30. The most
Important development of the yellow
fever situation to-day was the report
of Dr. C. Milo Brandy, who had been
sent by the State board of health on
a tour of inspection of the bayous
and lakes in Jefferson parish, where
there are many settlements . of fish
ermen In constant ' communication
with New Orleans. Doctors are sel
dom accessible to these fishermen
and it was apprehended that sickness
and distress existed among them. Dr.
Brady made the trip' with Dr. Stan
ley, of North Dakota, in ' a launch
loaned by the latter. 1 "Without com-
pletlng their investigation they turn
ed up 35 cases- of yellow fever, learn
ed that deaths had occurred and
found much suffering. - v
